Scientists with the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory say their machine has a 50% chance of discovering the particle which is believed to give mass to the universe.

The Higgs boson, aka the god particle, which physicists hope to detect with the new LHC, is the holy grail of modern particle physics. What are bosons and fermions?

Bosons, along with fermions and leptons complete the 'zoo' of elementary particles.

Fermion and Boson classifications are not entirely set in stone. While individual particles are either one or the other, systems of particles can cause the laws to fail.

Satyendra Bose and Albert Einstein published a paper in 1924 which to this day helps to explain the difference between various types of subatomic particles.

The four known natural forces are, from strongest to weakest: strong nuclear, electromagnetic, weak nuclear, and gravity. Without forces structure could not exist.

Straddling the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, 50 meters underground and an astonishing 17 miles long; the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is easily the World's biggest gun.

Scientists hope to solve the mystery of matter by mimicking conditions that existed just a fraction of a second after the Big Bang.

Fundamental constituents called fermions bind together and form composite particles. These particles constitute most of the mass of atoms.

Damage to CERN's Large Hadron Collider from the mishap shortly after it opened in September, 2008 required extensive repairs. The LHC will restart in late 2009.

Shortly after the CERN Large Hadron Collider accelerated its first protons, an accidental liquid He leak caused some magnets to warm up and necessitated repairs.

Fermilab's Tevatron is trying to make more scientific news before Europe's huge Large Hadron Collider completes repairs and begins operations again in the Spring of 2009.

Particle Accelerators form an enormous part of physical discovery, and as such, they are constantly getting bigger, better, and (much) more expensive.

On September 10th, 2008 the Large Hadron Collider, a colossal scientific experiment both financially and ambitiously, successfully began in a tunnel beneath Switzerland.

Beyond the elementary fermions, leptons, and bosons, are the composite particles which are made up of these elementary particles.

Most people are familiar with the three states of matter they commonly interact with, solid, liquid, and gas, but these are hardly the only states of matter.
